Addie Bednar-Todd
Little Sprouts Educator
she/her/hers

Addie worked as a farming assistant for Urban Harvest in 2018 while attending SLU pursuing her bachelor’s degree in sociology. It was there that she first learned about food deserts and food insecurity in the St. Louis region and beyond. Access to healthy, nutritious food is a human right, and she fully believes in Urban Harvest’s community-based approach to fighting for food justice. Addie is very excited to be working with Urban Harvest again as the Little Sprouts Educator.

Addie has also been a competitive gymnastics coach for over 10 years and has worked with children of all ages and abilities. She strongly believes children are our most valuable members of society, which is why she takes a holistic approach to coaching that focuses on developing capable and resilient young people first, before developing strong athletes. She is looking forward to using her unwavering positivity (and lots of silliness!) to encourage curiosity, exploration, and confidence in our youngest growers. Getting children in the garden early is crucial for fostering their connection to nature and a love for fresh food.
